In a release today, WWE (now part of TKO Group Holdings), said it has added former ESPN Senior Vice President Lee Fitting as its new Head of Media and Production.
Many in the industry were surprised when Fitting was let go by ESPN in August after being with the company for 25 years. Fitting oversaw college and pro football production at the network.
“Lee is a phenomenal leader and executive known for work that generates both critical acclaim and mass appeal,” WWE President Nick Khan said in a release. “Lee will be a tremendous addition to our stellar media and production team and play a key role in helping catapult WWE’s growth.”
Fitting’s role will see him assume some of the duties previously handled by long-term employee Kevin Dunn, who left the company at the end of last year.
